Obituary for Edna Mae McQuerrey (Puterbaugh)
Edna Mae McQuerrey, 93, Cameron, passed away on June 5, 2017.

She is preceded in death by her parents and husband, Maurice L. McQuerrey; daughter, Marcia Carter, Murphy, Downey; brothers, Raymond, Steve and Larry Puterbaugh and sisters, Dorothy Bloss, Thelma McKee and MaryAnn Mereness.

She then joined the workforce in 1970 as director of the Cameron Development Center, a day care center for individuals with special needs. It was located in her church basement when it began and throughout the years she helped upgrade the facility to a building of their own. It then was named after Edna. She worked there 47 years, until her passing.
